Thank you for your impressions Ezduzit, I too considering maybe upgrading to Arya from Anandas and it's very helpful. Can I know what music you're listening to? Do you find bass on Arya stronger or weaker than on Ananda? Thanks.

E-MU 0404 USB + O2 Amp. It just works™

Arya have significantly better dynamics than Ananda, or because earcup form it's all more or less same in dynamics department?

96/100 dynamic Hmm, many reviewers says Ananda's dynamic qualities at best mediocre, and this guy have Elex/Clear to compare with, ones of most dynamic headphones. Hmm.

I'm not protecting anything, especially if it's just pair headphones which I can comfortably afford (if not, and I need to convince myself it was worth it, I'm not buying it). But it's just looks kinda funny to see you in this thread commenting every complimentary opinions (especially if it's...

So? This means that owner of mentioned site enjoy how Ananda sounds more than listed headphones below and prefer Ananda to them. Is this problem for you?

Nobody says it's a "8th best headphone in the world". What is that even mean btw? Seems like marketing bullsh*t, just like you trying mock Ananda, saying even HD 600 and quite a handful other headphones clearly better than Ananda. It's meaningless. If you don't understand, nobody mentioned...

I think it's closer to original HEK (v1). At least it's opinion based on reviews here, I didn't hear Arya.

Andrew (Resolve Reviews) did the review of Ananda and compared it to Sundara.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32965995788.html Is this silver-plated copper or pure copper cable? Seems interesting, litz cable for cheap (~$50).

Hi all. I'm choosing cable for my Hifiman Ananda. Will order from aliexpress. Can someone tell me if Lunashops cables any good? For example: https://aliexpress.com/item/4000711160302.html or https://aliexpress.com/item/33055252206.html ? It's sad hakuzen measured mostly cables for IEMs, I found...

Another Hifiman cable started to cutting signal off right channel. It's 4th cable or 5th cable from hifiman (Sundara and Ananda cables), whatever. I probably won't request another cable replacement, because of quarantine I'll get it in the next month at best, and it will eventually break up...

I'm not sure the price ever go back up to MSRP $999. Since November highest price were $850.

Interesting, I hear something like that already from others. Make me wonder if re-cabling is really an upgrading sound, however I don't have any balanced outputs on my amp, so I wonder if changing to another SE cable would make any difference.

Do you consider Arya worthwhile upgrade over Ananda? However, another good variant with similar price is HEDDphone, so maybe it's better to look at them as it seems completely different beast.
